The MetPrep 3x™ grinding and polishing machines, with the PH™ line of power heads, are powerful systems for semiautomatic operation, ideal for low to high volume sample preparation requirements. Two combinations provide ideal solutions that accommodate any lab, application or material.

The microprocessor-based system allows the operator to use either the manual Input Mode to enter parameters throughout a procedure, or the user-defined preprogrammed Steps and Sequences Mode to select steps in a sequence as the procedure advances.

The PH-3™ power head offers maximum versatility for low to high volume semi-automatic sample preparation, using either central or individual sample force modes. The pneumatic-electric systems provide controlled sample force and allow up to nine (9) samples to be prepared simultaneously in central force and three (3) samples in individual force. The unique tilt-up design allows easy, unhindered access to the sample holder and platen, and eliminates the need to reposition the head during the preparation procedure.

The PH-4™ power head offers maximum versatility for low to high volume semi-automatic sample preparation, using either central or individual sample force modes. The pneumatic-electric systems provide controlled sample force and allow up to twelve (12) samples to be prepared simultaneously in central force and four (4) samples in individual force. The unique tilt-up design allows easy, unhindered access to the sample holder and platen, and eliminates the need to reposition the head during the preparation procedure.

Either standard or magnetic platens may be used with any plain/adhesive backed or magnetic system disc.

The MultiPrep™ System enables precise semiautomatic sample preparation of a wide range of materials for microscopic (optical, SEM, FIB, TEM, AFM, etc.) evaluation. 

Capabilities include parallel polishing, angle polishing, site-specific polishing or any combination thereof. It provides reproducible results by eliminating inconsistencies between users, regardless of their skill. 

Dual micrometers (pitch and roll) allow precise sample tilt adjustments relative to the abrasive plane. A rigid Z-indexing spindle maintains the predefined geometric orientation throughout the grinding/polishing process. Digital indicators enable quantifiable material removal, which can be monitored real-time (front), or preset (rear) for unattended operation. Variable speed rotation and oscillation maximize use of the entire grinding/polishing disc and minimize artifacts. Adjustable load control expands its capability to handle a range of small (delicate) to large samples.

The M-Prep 6x™ grinding/polishing machine is designed for manual sample preparation. The powerful, quiet motor provides constant high-torque output throughout the speed range, in either 10-500 or 20-1,000 RPM configurations. A 7" color LCD touchscreen with keypad entry is used to control all functions with an intuitive interface optimized for efficiency. Five (5) user-defined preset buttons allow quick and easy RPM selections in either clockwise or counterclockwise rotation.

Durable: Engineered and constructed using precision machined hard-anodized aluminum and stainless steel components to provide maximum longevity.

Easy to use: Straightforward controls and user friendly functions for quick, repeatable operation.

Either standard or magnetic 10"/254 mm or 12"/305 mm platens may be used with any plain/adhesive backed or magnetic system disc.
